Looks good Yoop, the wife wants to get into gardening at our next house. That's a beautiful lawn too!

Welcome, While water profile can have a profound effect on the taste of beer, boiling it removes any nasties. I'm going to assume, though, that using a kit implies you didn't do a full boil. I tend to use bottled water if I'm not doing a full boil--or at least for top off water that isn't...

PM sent. Not sure if what he found so far is too expensive, but he can get deep discounts (free) for plasma cutting the scrap piece he found...

The wife watches it every time she sees it while flipping channels. Is it wrong that I let my wife use the remote?

Sounds like 3003 is the best for your application. Alro - Aluminum Sheet It's been 17 years since I worked there, so I'll see what he says is best.

He's asleep right now, but I'll ask tomorrow. You want shiny stuff (3003) or the duller 6061?

Yes, PM Txbrew. In the past one could send a check and receive a membership after the check cleared. This may still be the case, but you have to ask...

Been a while since I attended one, back in the 90's. It's a good time. Holly has some decent microbreweries in the vicinity, right?

How much do you need? Might be able to find some scrap where my cousin works--at the very least a decent discount.

Welcome Scott. They still do the renaissance festival in Holly?

The best part of this hobby is enjoying the fruits of your labor. Welcome from another Expat Michgander. :mug:

Not necessarily the East Coasters who are lucky, just those that live near Northern Virginia (as that's the distributor who received the rights to distro after Chicago lost 'em). Bell's is brewed in Michigan--you guys get Russian River out west...

I think a few of my kegs have plastic gas in dip tubes. Are yours broken, or do you just dislike them? I was unaware that they were a different size than metal dip tubes, but if your plastic ones are broken, then the usual suspects should have replacement plastic ones. I'll check and post...

A six gallon better bottle weighs next to nothing, but I assume you mean glass... EDIT: I went to northernbrewer and "selected" a six gallon carboy to purchase, then checked the "view cart" button. Shipping weight is about 41 pounds, so I'd say an empty six gallon glass carboy weighs...

I've used grain bags for hop pellets with success. Just cut them up into individual "servings" and toss them into the boil at the requisite times.

Here's a pic taken while practicing hover flight...

I think the Wings take it, but I wouldn't be disappointed if the Penguins win either.

Welcome fellow Michigander, from [originally] just south of Lansing.

Open call to Central Virginians to come and brew Sunday June 7th. Evan has a Belgian Dark Strong Ale recipe in the works that a few of us are going to brew and those that want to brew something else are welcomed to. PM me for directions if you're interested. This will be the third brewday...

Um, I thought drinking while brewing was a requirement. :)
